Longeing and ground training are an important part of horsemanship, both in training the horse and in the education of the rider.
This book explains the principles of handling and training horses safely from the ground, including leading, teaching good ground manners, and preparation for longeing. It provides an introduction to longeing, equipment, techniques, and longeing for various purposes, including longeing to improve the horse’s movement and longeing the rider. Because longeing is an activity that requires skill, knowledge, and safe techniques, The USPC Guide to Longeing and Ground Training is essential to understanding what you will need, what to do, and how long to do it safely for yourself and your horse.
This guide can be used by Pony Clubbers, instructors, and all horse owners who want to learn about longeing and how to use this technique safely to benefit their horses’ training.

    Great book with basic, solid explanations & how-to’s
    Though this book is a handbook for junior horsemen, this is also perfect for the inexperienced adult horse owner. The language is easy to understand. It doesn’t include lingo that it assumes you know. Illustrations help, showing exactly what is being explained. I highly recommend this book for someone who would like to improve their horse’s ground manners and teach them how to lounge while learning how to themselves.

    I found this book really helpful and it has helped me to become much better at longeing my horse. I still ‘dip’ into it to make sure I am doing this correctly.
